“Gwinnett County is extremely important to SunTrust with over 40 branch and in-store locations to conveniently serve its clients in Gwinnett. SunTrust also has a significant commercial banking and wealth management presence in Gwinnett, “ commented Sherwood McDuffie, senior vice president, SunTrust Bank/Commercial Line of Business.
SunTrust has been a proud member of Chairman’s Club since its inception and is an Advisor Investor for Partnership Gwinnett. McDuffie, representing SunTrust, currently serves on our Board of Directors and as Vice Chairman of the Chamber’s membership and sponsorship campaign. In addition, Sherwood served as the co-chairman of the record-breaking 2007 Total Resource Campaign. He also serves on Partnership Gwinnett’s Implementation Committee.
“SunTrust benefits from the relationships its bankers have developed through involvement with the chamber’s various programs and events. These relationships have been vital to the growth of SunTrust in Gwinnett,” said Sherwood.
Sherwood commented that holding key leadership positions and participating in the Chamber’s Total Resource Campaign has been particularly rewarding for him.
“For three to four months, the campaign affords you a rewarding opportunity to work closely with talented and dedicated business and community leaders who are volunteering their efforts to advance the Chamber’s mission and goals by raising funds to sustain vital chamber programs for business development, community improvement and member services,” said Sherwood. “Although the campaign is already underway, members of the Chamber and the community can still play an important role in helping the Gwinnett Chamber reach its goal by recommending members, sponsoring an event or purchasing an advertisement.”
